GIFT WRAP

Emilie blankets are milled in England and Viennese-inspired. Milled at the most esteemed mill in the world, operating since 1783 with a Royal Warrant fine fabrics. Throw is 100% Merino wool framed in JG Switzer's signature 4-inch 100% silk charmeuse custom pattern found nowhere else in the world.

Emilie is a small tribute to Emilie Floge, busineswoman, designer and lifelong companion of Gustav Klimpt.  She was a key textile designer at the Weiner Werkstatte, a 1900's Viennese workshop of 50+ artisans that set the stage for Art Nouveau, art deco and impressionism and left the world a more beautiful place. Emilie is an heirloom blanket designed to be passed from one generation of bed to the next.

Hand-sewn, mitered corners means each piece has its own unique character.

All of our creations are part of a grand experiment to release more artful beauty into the world. Your suggestions and requests will be taken seriously, and we welcome them.
  • Have a Queen? Our Queen measures 90x100”/230x255cm  and should fit a UK Full with about 20” to spare on either side, enough to be tucked in or draped from a platform bed. 
  • Have a King? The King is 100x110”/255x280cm and is made to be “tuckable” on a standard King. A California King should fit fine, but not all beds are created equal.  We suggest you check your measurements prior to ordering  to avoid any disappointing misftits. 
  • Traveller Throws. We have throws in several sizes, but they are designed to be used as a bed runner, to dress up a bedroom or living room, or as a travelling companion. Legends Throws, such as the Now Voyager Traveller Throw are 45" x70." Our Fur Throws are 76"x55".

WOOL

JG Switzer Blankets, Throws, and Pillows

CARE:  We recommend Dry Cleaning Only for our wool and fur blankets, pillows and throws.

MAINTENANCE: Being a natural fiber, wool is wonderful at keeping itself clean and does not need to be cleaned frequently.

Wool

To stay moth free, wool blankets can be regularly shaken and hung to air, especially before and after being stored. We recommend using lavender sachets or making a combination of three essential oils: rosemary, lavender and lemon and then using a dropper, add a few drops every month or so to a cotton ball or two and store it close to your wool. Lavender is a natural moth repellant. We can not, in good conscience, recommend moth balls due to contents and odor.

Keeping everything clean is essential. Many stains can be removed by gently removing excess dirt with a soft brush (usually sold at fabric stores), rinsing the stain with cold water – spot cleaning and airing to dry. Use gentle and mild soap to spot clean, such as Eucalan, Zero or Woolite, and a little goes a long way

STORAGE: Before storing blankets, give them a good shake to rid them of any excess particles or dust and have them professionally dry cleaned. Store in a cool, dry place. Wool does NOT like damp or overly hot storage. Blankets should be folded with no weight on top of them.

FORBIDDEN FUR BLANKETS & PILLOWS

CARE: Fur blankets must be cleaned by a fur specialist or a dry cleaner that has expertise in fur. Ideally, bring all fur to a furrier who knows how to properly clean a fur blanket. For stains or spot treatments, use a soft sponge or clothe and wipecarefully using a small amount of gentle detergent such as Zero, Eucalan or Woolite. Air dry the damp spot.

MAINTENANCE: Shake occasionally to remove particles and excess dirt. Do not vacuum or brush fur. Avoid direct sunlight as much as possible since too much light can cause fur to oxidize and change color.

STORAGE: If six months or more, it is best to store at a furrier for the best humidity and temperature. At home, find a dry, cool place. Hang on wooden hangers or store in a cotton or linen breathable storage container.
